Creating Spaces, Crafting Success: Mudasir Ali Shah And The Location Interiors

Our Features Editor, Sherlyn Gomes, had the opportunity to engage in an insightful interview with Mudasir Ali Shah, COO of The Location Interiors. He stands out as a prominent leader with an outstanding record spanning more than twenty years in profit center management, strategy planning, sales and marketing, business development, and training and development. Boasting a robust corporate background, Mudasir has effectively led teams across varied regions, such as the Middle East, North Africa, the UK, and Asia. Absolutely, my upbringing in an English boarding school instilled a strong sense of discipline and leadership. The early mornings at 5 a.m., the strict rules, and even the meticulous bed-making taught me valuable life skills.

Climbing the ranks from house captain to head boy during that time gave me a taste of responsibility and leadership, which still guides me today. Starting at Microsoft, which is known for exceptional customer service, set a high standard for me. Transitioning to banking provided insights into financial transactions and industry intricacies. Later, in the real estate industry at Emaar Properties, I played a role in launching iconic structures like the ‘Burj Khalifa.’ Each phase added a layer to my skills, from customer service excellence to understanding the technical facets of real estate.

My family’s construction legacy inspired me, but I also inherited the artistry of crafting from my paternal ancestors. Combining these influences, I found my passion in interior design. In 2014, I founded The Location Interiors with a clear vision to be a profit-centric platform for all stakeholders, creating spaces that inspire and evoke emotions. We collaborate with designers from Italy, France, Persia, and Asia to bring a unique, international perspective to our projects. This diversity ensures a rich variation of designs that cater to a broad range of tastes and preferences worldwide. True success comes from seeing things through to the end.

It involves transitioning from a mindset centered on patience, consistency, and resilience to one that thrives on flexibility and a flow-oriented approach. Success is a marathon, not a race.Transparency and meticulous planning are fundamental to overcoming challenges. By ensuring a solid foundation from the start, many challenges can be preemptively avoided. We commit to providing transparent, reliable information that empowers clients and partners, contributing to their success and ours.
